Teach


Luke 12:11-12 

11 But when they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how you should make your defense or what you should say, 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you must say.”

 Teach

 

Teach me what I want to know ... so I can show others.

May I ask what will you show and for whose glory brother?

 

The Lord will teach you in your need ... in that very hour

when men persecute you for Jesus’ sake ... you’ll receive that power.

 

I guess you just don’t understand ... how to be a witness

and bring others to Christ ... unless you know and live it.

 

Maybe my friend you should just love ... and be led by the Spirit

that seems to be the only way ... for folks to come and get it.

 

Look who is dumb and has no clue ... how to impress intellect?

You need to know more, then he knows ... for me to have an effect.

 

My son, you’re going for the mind ... when only the heart matters.

You must love and help everyone ... and the Lord will show the latter.
